I'm Trying To Tell You Something
…that of unbroken habits,
and pretense paranoia,
that I could only relay through words, and keys,
and endless hopes, and ending fears.
(Fly with me, my dearest L.)
So I Really Don't Drink, And I Really Don't...
Well, I lie sometimes (see emotions above, of disdain&shame, um, no really).

With the best couple (20 years, in lesbian time) in the whole world - my girls, Jessie and Kelly <3

Because I'm In Love With Carol.
“Inside all of us is a Wild Thing.”
“I didn’t want to wake you up but I really wanna show you something.”
“I want you to be king forever, Max.”

He’s read[ing] it too. <3
*Ani and Graffiti
Banksy and his genius; I hope to meet the man one day. There’s nothing like politics and art mixed in, that leaves a stronger impression.

And I wade deep into all these emotions - one by one, or in pairs, or sometimes in big, bountiful multitudes - and I let myself drown, never to surface again, leaving behind a trail of empty, yet colorful youth.
Oh, the painful, transformational growth.
Come on, spring me. →
Rain: A Tale in Pictures
I woke up today with the sounds of sweet, steady pitter-patter.
When raindrops are supposed to whisk (and wipe) away, they leave marks instead.
Academia was punctuated with the harshness of the wind, beating against the windows (so I smiled to myself).
The wind was swaying me, the rain grazing my face; dance.
And the sky (dark, gloomy) was speaking in volumes, its vastness...

While I’m still disappointed in the President, I liked the speech for the reasons listed here. But I left out a reason: President Barack Obama’s remarks before the Human Rights Campaign have anti-gay activists in a tizzy. For example: Peter LaBarbera: “Obama’s Expanding Anti-Christian Agenda… President Obama used the bully pulpit tonight to defy...
